Leaving isn't quite the same sentiment.
As running away.
If you're scared or tired of what you're scared of.
Well, why should you stay?
He loved to say goodbye.
And always counted out the time.
Until he was free, to get up and leave.
To learn how to breathe...
Again.
Slipping out to have a cigarette.
With someone else that he'd never met.
Ask her if by the way would she like to run away.
And try to forget?
Or just not to stay, to leave without saying why...
To get up and go to catch the last train
To get in some car and drive out again...
To never come back this way....
And have to say....
Goodbye, so long, farewell, au revoir (3x)
